Just to be clear:

That "credetial and badge holder" pictured... If someone displayed it and it influenced my treatment of them in any way shape, or form during an enforcement action and I learned they were not a credentialed local, state, or federal law enforcement officer... I would arrest them. And so, I am confident, would most of my collegues. I mention it so that should that day ever come, you will not be in the position of muttering to yourself in the back to the car, "If only someone had told me."

Erik - Who has wirtnessed two security gaurds and one CCW carrier arrested for just that thing over the years. All where living out this fantasy being advocated here. All argued the arguments of the presented in favor of the "badges." IIRC: The guards were conviced of misdemeanors, lost their CCWs, and undoubtedly terminated. The CCW carrier was read the riot act, lost his CCW, and released with charges dropped.
